3 construction firm workers rescued hours after abduction in Basilan

From InterAksyon (Jan 15): 3 construction firm workers rescued hours after abduction in Basilan

ISABELA CITY, Basilan -- Three employees of a construction firm undertaking a government project were rescued hours after gunmen seized them Thursday in the town of Akbar.

The identities of the rescued workers, employees of C & J construction firm based in Isabela City, were not immediately available. Two of them were dump trucks drivers.

The victims were seized around 8:35 a.m. Thursday in Barangay Caddayan, by gunmen police said were led by a “Commander Bullet.”

The firm’s owner, engineer Muctar Muarip, said extortion appeared to be the reason for the kidnapping, citing an earlier demand for protection money from Commander Bullet.

Muarip said the gunmen shot the tires of the dump trucks before seizing his workers.
